Hi, has anyone tried plasmapheresis for peripheral neuropathy induced by lack of B12? Any success on it? Thanks!

It is not indicated for anything. It is still an experimental treatment that is under study. So far results look like there may be something in it. But don't expect anything for patients for several years.

Did you end up getting the plasmapheresis Caro44? I would be curious now that some years have passed to hear if anyone has any updates.
